Author's Note: Well I would have had this chapter up sooner if my idiot
father didn't cause the computer to screw up and lose a lot of stuff.
Anyway, this story takes place two years after "Failing and Falling" at
this point, Kurt and Kitty are high school graduates and Scott and Jean are
married. Enjoy! (By the way, did everyone see "Ascension part 2?" It was
friggin' incredible! )

He ran as fast as he could through the abandoned warehouse. He was being chased by a group of mutant hunters. He was Forge. A young man who was a mutant. He could create all sorts of inventions and devises by using a large fancy tool from his arm. The mutant hunters must have been after him for that.
Forge slowed down his running and looked behind him. It looked like they were gone. He sighed for relief and turned around only to see a young mutant man with snowy white hair and icy blue eyes.
"Thought you could out run me, huh?" he asked with a hasty tone.
Now Forge was surrounded by a group of mutants. They all had different shapes and sizes. The white haired mutant was Pietro "Quicksilver" Maximoff. There was another with green tinted skin and yellow eyes. He very much resembled a toad. He name was Todd "Toad" Tolensky. There was one who was very big and muscular. He had silvery armored skin. His name was Piotr "Colossus" Rasputin. Then there was Victor "Sabretooth" Creed. He looked very dangerous. He had long brown hair, fangs, and long claws. There was a younger man with brown hair and brown eyes. His name was Lance "Avalanche" Alvers. There was a man with fiery orange hair and a maniac grin. He was John "Pyro" Allerdyce.
"Looks like you have no where to go," a female said from above.
Forge looked up and saw a bird fly down towards them, but the bird turned into a woman with blue skin, red hair, and yellow eyes. Her name was Raven "Mystique" Darkholme.
"What do you want from me?" Forge asked.
Mystique smiled and sprayed him in the face with gas that made him fall unconscious.

It was a quiet Saturday morning at Professor Charles Xavier's institute for mutants. The teens were sleeping in, some of the young adults were sleeping in, and all the older adults were walking around trying to find something useful to do.
Nineteen year old Kurt "Nightcrawler" Wagner woke up that morning at eight- thirty. He looked over at his sleeping roommate Remy "Gambit" Lebeau. Kurt was always the first to wake up between the two.
Kurt and Remy had only been in the institute for two years while the others living there lived there for several years. Kurt was recruited by the beautiful Kitty "Shadowcat" Pryde. She had met him at the circus he used to perform at. Shortly the two fell in love and he had been with her ever since. Remy was recruited by Marie (or Rogue as everyone called her.) Remy was sent on a kidnap mission to kidnap Rogue. The evil mutant named Magneto had used a test potion on Remy that made him do whatever Magneto commanded. Eventually Remy came back to himself, but was attacked by Mystique. He had gotten amnesia because of the attack. Remy and Rogue also fell in love. Like Kurt and Kitty, they were inseparable.
Kurt grabbed a pillow and walked over to Remy.
"Gambit! Vake up!" he called smacking him on the head with the pillow.
"Five more minutes, mon ami," Remy groaned.
"Nein!" Kurt said shaking his head. "Ve have to go play a prank on ze girlfriends!"
"No way," Remy said.
"Vhy?" Kurt asked.
"You know those two filles get very dangerous when they're mad," Remy stated.
"Are you scared of zem?" Kurt asked cocking his head to the side.
"Of Rogue? Oui," Remy answered simply.
"Zey von't get made," Kurt said. "I'll just put on mein best puppy dog look and zey vill melt! How can zey resist zis?" He made his lower lip pucker out and his golden yellow eyes watery.
"You've been practicing, non?" Remy asked.
"Ja," Kurt answered proudly. "Now are you going to help me or not?"
"Okay fine," Remy answered sitting up.

BAMF!
Kurt teleported himself and Remy in front of Kitty and Rogue's room.
"Ready?" Kurt asked.
"Oui," Remy answered.
Kurt opened the door and the two quietly walked into the room.
"Zey're still asleep," Kurt whispered.
Remy walked over to Rogue and Kurt walked over to Kitty.
"On three we're gonna jump them," Remy whispered. "One...two....three!"
"Gotcha!" Rogue yelled as she sat up and started spraying Remy with silly string.
"Like, totally!" Kitty replied spraying Kurt.
"Ach! Zey got us!" Kurt gasped.
"Oui, they did, mon ami!" Remy agreed putting his hands over his face.
"Keety, stop!" Kurt pleaded.
Kitty stopped only because she ran out of silly string.
"Ya'll thought ya'll could get us this tahme!" Rogue said. "But ya'll were wrong!"
"Aww man, eet's going to take hours to get zis stuff out of my fur," Kurt said picking the silly string off.
"Aww, Kurt, you're not, like, mad at me are you?" Kitty asked making her bottom lip pucker out and her eyes glossy.
"No! Keety! Ach, don't use zat against me!" Kurt said.
"Kuuurrrrt," she whined.
"They're gonna kiss," Rogue whispered. "In three...two...one. And there they go! Ah'm goin' to take a shower n' stuff." Rogue quickly left the room.
"I'm going to see what's left for breakfast," Remy said leaving as well.

Rogue walked out of the bathroom and walked back to hers and Kitty's room hoping to God that she and Kurt were finished making out. When she walked into the room, she saw that Kurt and Kitty were gone. She sighed for relief and began getting ready for breakfast.
Rogue wore a dark green tank top with black pants. Since she could now touch, she didn't have to wear long sleeves and gloves all the time. She used to be untouchable until she walked into the chamber that was designed to enhance a mutant's powers. She could now control her powers completely, which meant she could have a normal relationship with Gambit.
Rogue applied light makeup because Remy said she looked much more pretty with light instead of heavy like she used to wear it.
She used her powers to control metal to make a necklace and ring come to her.
When she was finished, she walked downstairs to the dining room.
The only ones in the dining room still eating were Kurt, Kitty, Remy, Bobby, Jubilee, and Ororo.
"Hey, ya'll," Rogue greeted grabbing some bacon and toast.
"Good morning," Ororo greeted. She finished her breakfast and began to walk out of the room. "Remember, you all have a training session with Logan in an hour."
Everyone moaned.
Jean and Scott then walked into the dining room.
"Why does everyone look so unhappy?" Jean asked.
"Training session with Logan," Bobby "Iceman" Drake answered.
"Oh," Jean said.
"Hey, they're not that bad," Scott "Cyclops" Summers said.
Everyone glared daggers at him.

At the training session,
Kitty phased herself and Rogue through the ground as a paint shooter came towards them about to fire them with a paint bomb.
"That was, like, close!" Kitty sighed.
Two paint shooters came towards Remy and Kurt at the same time.
"I can take them," Remy said throwing a charged card at both of them at the same time.
Jean was having a little bit of trouble with hers. She had three of them on her and no cover. Her partner, Bobby, got plastered. She sent a telekinetic wave at the two in front of her, but soon found herself getting shot on the back. She fell forward from surprise and sighed. She looked back at the paint shooter, but something happened, her eyes began glowing a fiery orange. She held her hand out and sent a telekinetic wave at it. Her eyes returned back to normal green and she walked out of the danger room.
No one knew about what had happened with Jean. She didn't talk about it nor did she talk to anyone really that day. Something was happening inside her, but she did not know what it was.
